I love... beauty in ALL forms

I know I already have an I love... but given some of the threads here over the past couple of weeks I have to get this off my chest.

I LOVE that we celebrate beauty in ALL forms here at BT- and that this is (mostly) a no judgment zone. I LOVE that we see the beauty in all- and refuse to conform to one group's view of what is perfect/beautiful and what is not.

I LOVE that BT is a place where you are beautiful, no matter your age, size, shape, color, gender, or any other label that society likes to throw out.

What a sweet thought! Kudos to you! I really like that we have such a kind place to share our beauty passion. From seeing some other beauty sites, a lot of backbiting and hating can go on and ruin everyone's fun.

Re: I love... beauty in ALL forms

I see that you mentioned that you have already started an I love post but honestly I've got to say that I would rather see one of these post a 100 times over then see some of the negative post that have brought in lately, and honestly I couldn't care less if those people stay or go. We've got a good thing going here and I don't think we should let that tear down what we try to build.

Well put, starletta! This forum is so friendly and fun. I hope it stays this way. It can stay this way if we all are accepting and understanding of each other (and of Sephora, which is an amazing store...)

Here! Here, Starlett!

I also love that this board celebrates beauty in all its forms. It's a relief to come to a beauty site and see products, discussions and hints for all skin types, skin tones and age groups. Even more helpful is that people are willing to think outside the box. The experts are also great!

For instance, my skin has been oily all my life and even though I've used products to address that particular issue, now that I am of a certain age those products are a little too harsh. I love being able to get opinions about my skincare routine from others who are experiencing the same hormonal and environmental issues.

And, if it weren't for this board, I would still be wearing bronzed-colored blushes simply because I bought into the myth years ago that dark-skinned women should stay away from bright cheek and lip colors.

I just wanted to bump this thread.

Thank you BT for being an awesome place. I looked at my profile today and couldn't believe how quickly my post and heart counts have jumped. That's such a testament to what a wonderful community this is.
